Are you the victim of sending awkward WhatsApp messages to your friends, families, and colleagues while you're drunk?

No need to panic now, as you'll soon be able to recall your drunk or mistakenly sent text messages on WhatsApp – a much-demanded feature.

Recall Unread Messages Sent Mistakenly

The most popular instant messaging service is reportedly testing the ability to edit or completely recall messages that have already been sent, allowing you to edit or delete a message from your friend's phone if it is yet to be read.

This new feature, first spotted by Twitter account @WABetaInfo, may be included in a new beta version of WhatsApp's next update before making it into a full consumer release.

If so, the update will add "Revoke" and "Edit" options for messages with gray tick marks that have not yet been viewed by the recipient. Blue ticks on WhatsApp represents that the recipient has seen your sent messages.

If the sender clicks on the Revoke option, the message from the recipient inbox will be replaced with "Sender revoked the message," as shown in the screenshots, telling the recipient that the sender is keeping something away from them.

However, the Facebook-owned messaging service has not officially announced the edit and recall feature, so it is unclear if or when these features will make its way to the popular messaging app's stable release.

Track Your Friends Location In Realtime

Besides giving its users more control over their sent messages, WhatsApp is also testing a new feature called "Live Location" in group chats to make it a lot easier for users to track the location of the group members while coordinating a group meeting.

WhatsApp's Live Location Tracking feature will allow users to enable other members in a group to track their location in real time. The feature will be built on WhatsApp's send your location feature, and users can opt in the feature to share their moving position for one, two or five minutes or indefinitely.

Other upcoming features being tested in the beta version of WhatsApp include the ability to reply to status messages, as well as shaking your smartphone within a conversation to contact WhatsApp and report spam.

The popular instant messaging app WhatsApp might adopt some features from its parent company, Facebook.

The messaging giant is testing some new features that might be coming to the app soon. The features include a 'Like' button similar to that of Facebook and a 'Mark as Unread' feature for chat messages, AndroidPit reports.

'Like' Button for Images

Ilhan Pektas, WhatsApp beta tester, recently claimed that a future WhatsApp update will introduce a 'Like' button for images, indicating the company might allow users to Like their friend’s profile picture and images shared in groups as well.

There aren't many details about the new features yet, but if implemented, Like button feature is something that could improve group chats.

'Mark as Unread' Feature to Chats

Besides implementing Like button, WhatsApp is also planning to introduce a 'Mark as Unread' feature to chat messages that will offer recipients ability to mark any message as unread, so that senders will not get the blue ticks.

WhatsApp recently brought few improvements to group chats which includes, the ability to see who is typing, blue ticks for read messages, group administrator’s ability to assign other members as admins, as well as increasing the number of group members.

And now, this new 'Mark as Unread' feature will give users the ability to mark a message as unread. Keeping in mind that awkward situation when a recipient have read the sender’s messages but isn’t able to reply instantly, WhatsApp might soon provide you undo your read chats as unread.

This new unread feature was first spotted by a Spanish website ADSLZone after it obtained some internal WhatsApp translation document.

Both of the above features do sound interesting and are really needed by most of the WhatsApp 800 Million users. However, currently it is difficult to say if these features will make it to the next WhatsApp app update.
